Members of Perritt Laboratories staff have participated in providing research data, collected for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), leading to the testing procedures codified in the Poison Prevention Packaging Act (PPPA) of 1970. Jurisdiction of the PPPA was transferred from the FDA to the U. S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) in 1973. This testing procedure has become the base procedure for every related test standard worldwide.

In addition to providing the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) with compliance testing, Perritt Laboratories has also provided the Commission with the research data leading to the Child-Resistant Cigarette Lighter testing procedures.

In support of the major revisions to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act test procedures in 1995, Perritt Laboratories again participated in providing research data to the CPSC.

Perritt Laboratories has successfully participated in Child-Resistant Package (CRP) testing procedures round robin testing for both the CPSC and the American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM) Institute for Standards Research (ISR).
